So, we all knew they were changing her powers and origin of said powers for the show; I was not really enthused at all about the power change, but I guess if the energy constructs are going to mostly be used to just replicate her comics powers (making her limbs grow big, or rather create big energy constructs of her limbs), that's fine. I'm still upset that they didn't ever recreate that moment from the first Ms. Marvel story where she unconsciously uses her polymorph abilities to morph into a skinny white blonde lady, and be forced to confront her internalized shame and learn to love herself as she is, because that was a really really powerful moment. But perhaps that was never gonna make it into a Disney production anyway.

I'm also still not sold on the walking on discs of light thing; it's not like the disks move at all, so she's just... like, walking normally? But up in the air? Not really a fun or even fast mode of transportation. She should just make big energy construct legs and move around like she does in the comics, more or less!

The origin of her powers though... I dunno man. The Clandestine stuff is seriously underwhelming and the villains are both really underdeveloped and forgettable. Combined with the reveal towards the end of the finale, I feel so conflicted about it all.

Like, OK, the Inhumans push crashed and failed massively. Kamala is only an Inhuman in the comics by pure happenstance (because she happened to be created right at the start of the Inhumans push), and aside from some fun adventures with Lockjaw, there is nothing really that would be lost by removing the Inhuman explanation for her powers. So hypothetically, let's say an adaptation chose to instead make her a mutant. Things might need a little bit of tweaking, because she's supposed to get powers a few years older than when mutant powers emerge (at puberty). But this is an eminently solvable problem: perhaps this adaptation adjusts it so that mutant powers emerge a few years later, around 16 or so. Or perhaps Kamala's mutant gene is only latent and some kind of outside trigger was needed to activate (this explanation has been applied to several mutant characters in the comics). The point is, it is pretty easy to simply apply Kamala's power explanation to being a mutant (although I would hope this hypothetical adaptation would keep Kamala separate from the X-Men, because the X-Men as a concept have such immense narrative gravity that it would swallow up Kamala and all the fun stuff she can do on her own, turning her into yet another X-team member out of dozens)

But the show takes arguably the worst of both worlds: they have this very complicated and bizarre explanation for Kamala's powers that involve a magic bracelet and a race of djinn Clandestine who can manipulate Noor; OK, fine. Sorta feels like a half-assed attempt at trying to tie Kamala's family history and ancetor's place of origin and culture more deeply into the origin of her powers, but because the actual origin is all from a race of mystical fantasy people, it's not like there's that strong of a cultural connection to real Indian or Pakistani culture. It's not great, but if that was all there was to it, then maybe it would be fine. Maybe.

... except then the finale also reveals that Kamala is also a mutant, which just feels like a hat on a hat. Is Kamran also a mutant? Does he happen to have the exact same powerset as Kamala, or perhaps are their respective mutations not really an actual set of powers, but simply the genetic potential to access Noor (with their Clandestine heritage is what is actually providing the ability to form and manipulate Noor; so that the rest of Kamala's family might share the Clandestine with Kamala, they also lack the X-gene that provides the last bit of connection that allows them to activate those powers). Like, I dunno. I would've probably preferred a show where Kamala just suddenly got powers randomly and they only reveal she was a mutant at the very end. Or perhaps if they did a show where she just is getting powers from the bangle unlocking them. To have both explanations just feels sloopy and overly complex.
